Left Hand Brewing Company

Longmont, CO

Picture
Left Hand 400 Pound Monkey
IPA - 6.8% ABV
Pete
     This one is a pretty average IPA. Average bitterness, average taste, slightly above average alcohol content.

Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's

Left Hand Fade to Black Volume 1
​Stout - 8.5% ABV
Pete
     This is a pretty tasty stout. The only downfall is that the main flavor is booze. It doesn't overwhelm, but I'd like it to be less in the forefront. It was great with ribs.

Left Hand Fade To Black Volume 3 Pepper Porter
Porter - 7.5% ABV
Pete
     This beer is strong and flavorful, but still surprisingly light. I'm not sure how, but this is a relatively easy drinker.

Left Hand Good Juju
Ginger Beer - 4% ABV
Pete
     This is a very good beer. It cleanses the palate and will disappear without you noticing. The only knock on it is that it's only 4% ABV.

Left Hand Milk Stout
Milk Stout - 6% ABV
Pete
     Surprisingly light and smooth going down, with a sweet flavor that stays with you when you put it down. Outstanding beer.

Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro
Milk Stout - 6% ABV
Pete
     This isn't quite as good as Left Hand's original version, but it is still pretty damn good. You'll know if you are drinking with little girl sips with this one, as the head leaves nice rings on the glass.

Left Hand Polestart Pilsner
Pilsner - 5.5% ABV
Pete
     This is an outstanding American take on this German style. It's smooth and very easy to drink. Perfect pairing for some outdoor grilling.

Left Hand Sawtooth Ale
Pale Ale - 5.3% ABV
Pete
     This beer has a little hoppy bitterness, but is mostly lacking in flavor.

Left Hand Sawtooth Nitro
Pale Ale - 5.3% ABV
Pete
     This is like the original in that it doesn't have very much flavor. I also don't think the nitro thing works very well with this style of beer.

Left Hand Wake Up Dead Nitro
Russian Imperial Stout - 10.2% ABV
Pete
     This is an outstanding beer. It is super dark and rich. Just delicious. As you can see from the photo, it also has a perfect head you'd expect from a stout, and it happens to stay with it the whole way down, leaving perfect rings around the glass.

Left Hand Wicked Juju
Ginger Stout - 7.2% ABV
Pete
     This is essentially just a stout with a hint of ginger. You don't really taste the ginger, but it definitely makes the beer a bit milder, easier to drink, and it doesn't stay with you very long. The stout flavor is great.
